Poem
Dad, how much I loved you You did not give me time to tell; So quick was your way to depart That sorrow and grief That came my way Are yet to breathe their last. You knew how to play with me Whenever I fell short of friends; You knew how to never impose on me Anything that I disliked; You knew to take me out of punishment The moment I had shed tears. You knew to make me Holy and intelligent By the examples you did set; You knew to give me time Even if it was in short supply; You knew to motivate me By the inspiring deeds you did. You knew to take interest in things That were close to my heart; You knew to show happiness At each and every success, That came my way in school. Humble and generous you were As none I have ever known; The more I have dug deep To unravel you, With the brushes of my heart, The higher have you grown In my love and esteem. Behind your gentle eyes There was ever this much warmth That knew to melt away All traces of unhappiness Clinging onto me In my hours of despair, And declare the spring of love and friendship Even with all the ice strewn around. Yet, you knew not to show me Your pain and discomfort As you plunged deep Into the woes of health And breathed your last; My head bends to the Almighty To have had been fathered By a soul like you.
